Makes me think that going young is a rip-off sometimes  :P

[Nails]

Lucky nails didn't see him cos he would have bid for sure!

I did see him and could have bid, but I saw shaggy had the most recent bid so I let him go.

Actually saw him before Shaggy bid, but I'm set on acquiring a batter first... I would have bid if he was a FM but I'd like Hussain to get games.

End of over 40 (1 run) - PowerBugCC(135-10) RR 3.38
A. Merchant 23 (54b) , A. Ud-Din 9.3-0-23-1

Nice try PB :(

[BratPack]

Surely the fielding isn't up to your standing HP. What are you doing? :P

If I know HP he's just putting in a bid to see how high he goes  :P

[CrowsFan]

Yeah I know BP, just stirring ;)

Just noticed this line of commentary in the match between HP and myself which made me chuckle :)

George to K. Temiz : Line and length from George, and K. Temiz dabs that carefully into the covers. K. Temiz trots in to pick up the ball and there's no run.

I have a KADEN Temiz batting, and he has a KALE Temiz in the field ::)

End of over 10 (4 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(43-1). 150 runs required from 40 overs. RR 4.30 RRR 3.75
C. Sargeant 12 (22b) , K. Temiz 14 (16b) , L. Rabou 5-0-19-1

Pretty disappointed I let them score 192 on a sticky wicket, but hopefully can still chase that down...

[roo boys!]

Yeah CF, I had a Rashid Ali and a Rehmat Ali for a while, so whenever they dropped a catch I never knew who to get mad at :P


Roo Boys! won by 68 runs

    End of over 48 (maiden) - bundy bashers(298-10). 69 runs required from 2 overs. RR 6.21 RRR 34.50
R. Vijaya 3 (8b) , J. Winnfield 8.1-0-38-5

What are the skills everyone's youth keeper?

Mine is reasonable Keeping, and ordinary fielding :-\ and 17 years old though..

Should I buy a new one?

[roo boys!]

I have a couple of 17 (18 in a day) year old ones, but they're not very good. May but a 19 year old early into the season.

[BratPack]

Wright sold for 154k. Dareeju for 117k

Can't complain too much considering. I got back what I laid out for them

What is everyone's youth keeper at?

Well Brouwer's going up. So my youth keeper will now be this guy

[CrowsFan]

He is pretty similar to my guy BP:

although will probably be using this guy for most of the games:

[Luigi197]

Oh so my guy isn't too bad then? http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=762015

[CrowsFan]

He is fine for your team luigi ;)

[Luigi197]

He is fine for your team luigi ;)

kool :) thanks.

[BratPack]

So the Dutch U19 side is preparing for the future. Only one 17 year old is in the squad. No not that one (Although he's only probably only two pops away).

After cruising along nicely against HP, sitting:

End of over 31 (3 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(122-2). 71 runs required from 19 overs. RR 3.94 RRR 3.74
R. Donfeld 32 (51b) , C. Sargeant 47 (81b) , L. Rabou 6-0-22-1

I am now:
End of over 37 (5 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(141-7). 52 runs required from 13 overs. RR 3.81 RRR 4.00
A. Beattie 0 (2b) , S. Mathea 5 (3b) , L. Rabou 9-0-31-2

So lost 5 wickets, gaining only 19 runs in the process! Sargeant out for 47, then Donfeld for 37. Next fell Wilkinson (0), Wood (0), and Argal (5) in the space of 4 balls!!

In to my bowlers and don't think I will get the win now :(
